THE NORTH JERSEY COAST 




C C ]•: S S I I ; I L 1 T V, combined with 

natural advantages possessed by no 

^^g IKf / / £^ other stretch of coast from Maine to 

^■^^^^//■jLii^''^\ jNJexico, has made the North Jersey 

^^^^^^^■>W— — ' V coast not only the summer home of 

thousands of families of New York 
and all the Xew Jersey cities, but "the 
summer playground of the nation," as 
it has been aptly termed. It is not a 
"stern and rock-bound coast"' that 
greets the summer pleasure-seeker, but 
rather the glinting spray from every 
sun-kissed wave and the balmy breath of the ocean that smile 
and breathe a welcome. 

Though from the green-top])ed hills of .\tlaiUic Highlands to 
the shelving beaches at T'oint Pleasant is a stretch of some twenty- 
five miles, cities and towns and villages follow one another in 
such close succession that this whole region is more like one great 
community. There is a railroad station for nearly every one of 
the twenty-five miles of shore line, and the splendid transporta- 
tion facilities afforded by the all-rail line> and Sandy [look Route 
steamers of the Central Railroad (')f Xew Jersey make this whole 
section from spring to fall a vital, throbbing part of the great 
suburban zone of the Metropolitan district. 

Every kind and condition of man can find a place t<i his lik'iug 
on this wonderful shore. There are localities in which the mil- 
lionaire is exclusive. There are conununities where the business 
man may leave his family in a comfortable home t)r a sumptuous

hotel while he is attending to the daily routine in the city. And 
there are places where the man of moderate means can take his 
family for his two or three weeks' outing and find comfortable 
quarters at reasonable prices. And in front of them all is the 
glorious Ocean, and behind them the healing air of the Jersey 
pines stretching inland for several miles. 

One feature of the Central Railroad's service, which really de- 
serves a separate chai)ler. is its line of swift steamers which run 
at frequent intervals during the summer from the foot of W'est 
Forty-second Street and Cedar Street, New York, to Atlantic 
Highlands. There connections are made at the pier with fast trains 
on the Sea Shore Branch for all points on the coast, as well as 
along the south shore of Raritan IJay. The Santly Ilook Route 
Heet comprises the "Asbury Park," the "Monmouth," and the 
"Sandy Hook." the speediest craft of their class afloat, and it is 
a common experience for their passengers to be thrilled by spirited 
brushes between these marine flyers and the fast yachts and liners 
that traverse the ba\'. I'Vom the hundreds of thousands of people 
who have enjoyed the sail to Atlantic Highlands, but one com- 
plaint is heard — that the trip is all too short. 

There is much that is luiique in the topograj)hical location of 
Atlantic Highlands. lUiilt on a magnificent headland forming the 
northern extremity of the Highlands of Navesink, a marine per- 
spective of exceptional beauty spreads to the eastward — in the 
immediate foreground. Sandy Hook Bay, resembling a great lake 
with Sandy Hook peninsula across its broad expanse; beyond, 
the Atlantic, with the Long Island shore in the distance. A step 
inland from the water's edge, with only the steel highway of the 

* 10 



Central intervening, heavily wooded hills rise abruptly. Indeed, 
the town itself, has been likened to the ancient capital of the 
Caesars in the matter of hills. From this precipitous boundary 
fertile farmlands stretch tn the southward, traversed by pretty, 
small streams. Of the many pleasures of this attractive resort 
bathing, sailing, and motor-boating are the most popular. There 
is excellent shelter in the bay and its several coves, and yachtsmen 
and devotees of aquatic sports find here an ideal domain. 

It is the Highlands of Xavesink that give the ocean traveller his 
last glimpse of America, as well as his first sight of actual land. 
So, too, by night the j^iercing gleam from the famous 'J^vin Lights 
at Highlands, visible a score of miles at sea. guides the trans 
atlantic navigator to Sandy Hook bar. Under the lee of the light 
houses rests Highlands, another i)()pular resort, between which 
and Atlantic Highlands the smaller colonies at Hiltons and Water 
Witch repose snugly on the side of the hill. It is at Highlands that 
the Xavesink River just above its confluence with the Shrews- 
bury, both winding seaward through a maze of estuaries, flows 
into Sandy Hook Bay. Between these two streams runs the 
Rumson Road, one of the finest driveways in the East, and 
famed throughout the country for the architectural beauty of the 
magnificent summer residences to which it gives access. 

Across the Navesink River is Highland Beach, a favorite surf- 
bathing rendezvous for the communities above it. while next in 
order come Normandie, Scabright, Low Moor, and Galilee, 




TENNIS IS THE VOGUE AT SEABRIGIIT

principally cottage colonies but with a few big hotels. At Mon- 
mouth Beach, just below, all mercantile business is excluded. 
Though primarily a cottage community it has an attractive inn, 
a casino, a new pavilion, and a well patronized swimming pool. 

Long Branch, for more than a hundred years a famous pleasure 
resort, lies on a blufif overlooking an attractive beach. Wealth 
and fashion flock here until there are many thousands in the city 
at the height of the season. Great efforts have of late been ex- 
erted in various improvements. Ocean Avenue, skirting the edge 
of the blufif, is one of the celebrated boulevards of the country. 
Its course is marked by a continuous procession of equipages of 
the elect, and the paralleling promenade is the scene of a gay 
parade of pedestrians. \\'est End and Hollywood, where the 
steamer trains take the tracks of the All Rail Route, are integral 
parts of the city of Long Branch, and like Elberon, also within 
the municipal boimdaries. and Deal Beach and Allenhurst, still 
farther to the south, are high-class cottage communities. 

With its splendid bathing beach, its famous Boardwalk, its 
music pavilions, Asbury Park attracts pleasure seekers and season 
and year-round residents from every part of the country ; indeed 
its summer population is distinctly cosmopolitan. W^atching the 
scene on tlie several bathing reservations or the crowded esplanade 
that nank> the broad stretch of sand, especially on Sundays or 
holidays at the height of the season, one wonders where so many 
people can come from. There are thousands and thousands of 
them revelling in the breaking surf or themselves witnessing the 
animated spectacle. Then there is another side of Asbury Park, 
a side seldom found in resorts primarily in the seashore class — 
the two fresh water lakes. Deal and Wesley, which bound it on 
the north and south respectively, and Sunset Lake about midway 
between. ]\Iost picturesque is the setting of Deal Lake, while 
on its ])lacid surface rowboats. motor-boats, and canoes ])lv in 
great numbers. Another great feature of the season is the child- 
ren's carnival held during the latter part of August, the baby 
parade being virtually national in the scope of the entrants and 
the interest manifested in it. This year, the usual water pageant 
will be held on Wesley Lake on July 8, instead of later in the 
season ; the Queen's Coronation is set for August 30. the Masque 
Fete will take place on August 31. and the Babv Parade on 
September 2. 

On the other side of Wesley Lake lies Ocean Grove, in many 
respects the exact antithesis of Asbury Park. Originally founded

LOOKIXG DOWN OCEAN AVENUE FROM BRIGHTON AVENUE, 
WEST END, LON'G BRANCH 

by ^Methodists as a canipnieeting ground, much of the old decorum 
and strict propriety are still sustained, it has a famous audi- 
torium, seating ten thousand persons and containing the largest 
pipe organ in the country. The Boardwalk, continuing southward 
along the ocean front, affords a close link with Asbury Park's less 
sedate attractions. 

Adjoining Ocean Grove on the south is Bradley Beach, with 
Avon next in order. Belmar has besides its ocean front the added 
advantages of Shark River, long famous for crabbing, and offer- 
ing fine facilities for sailing. Como. a pretty, wooded spot, sepa- 
rates the town from Spring Lake. The latter, frequently called 
the "Xcwport of New Jersey," is noted for the magnificence of its 
summer homes and the fashionable gaieties of the hotel and cot- 
tage contingents. Sea Girt is famous as the site of the summer 
encampment of the New Jersey National Guard, and here the 
Governor of the State makes his home during the heated term. 
Manasquan comes next on the shore, and then Point Pleasant, 
with its peculiarly fortunate combination of the ocean on one 
side and the broad Manasquan River on the other. 

The first point on the .Ml Rail Route of the Central which 
appeals to the summer vacationist is Sewaren. situated on a bluff 
overlooking Statcn Island Sotmd and enjoying the advantages of 

14 



a sheltered harbor so essential to those who i^^o in for water sports. 
It is attractively laid ottt with park-like effect. The same natural 
conditions prevail at Perth Amboy, one of the oldest shipping 
ports on the Atlantic seaboard, while South Amboy, across the 
Raritan River, also shares these advantages. The same may be 
written of Morgan, or Laurence Harbor, at the mouth of Cheese- 
quake Creek. W'eakfish. bluetish, and porgies abound and tine bass 
are caught here in large quantities. 

Matawan. at the junction of the Xew York and Long Branch 
Railroad and the hVeehold and Atlantic Highlands Division of the 
Central, offers all the inducemenls of a highly prosperous farming 
community. Here in the midst of great berry and tomato farms 
and the truck gardens that yield the choicest grade of table pro- 
duce, one gets a real taste of country life and customs. Hazlet, to 
the southeast, is similarly situated, while Middletown. Revolu- 
tionary in its associations, is likewise fortunate in agricultural 
advantages. 

Red Bank, on the banks of the Navesink River, commonly 
known as the North Shrewsbury, is admirably situated, especially 
from the viewpoint of aquatic enthusiasts. Here one may indulge 
in every form of water sports — rowing, sailing, motor-boating, 
etc. The river is also prolific in its yield of fish and crabs. .Along 
the shore of the Shrewsbury, and in other parts of the town, are 
some of the handsomest homes in this section, while the famous 




I I.U..1. ui .natukl: u.n riiK .ma.nasouan ki\ t.u 



'5 



Rumson Road leading hence to ScabrijTht, is only one of several 
roads widely noted for picturesque drives. 

Little Silver, on the South Shrewsbury River, concedes nothing 
to her more ambitious neighbor on the North Branch of the river 
when it comes to aquatic diversions, many of the residences hav- 
ing private docks. Branchport, on the same stream, and marking 
the northern section of the city of Long Branch, gives to the latter 
the same advantages that the other river resorts possess. From 
Branchport, the All Rail Route goes on to the main station at 
Long Branch, and thence to West End and Hollywood and the 
junction with the Sea Shore Branch. 

From Matawan the Central tracks also run eastward to Atlantic 
Hig"hlands. as well as almost due south to Freehold. Following 
the line of Raritan ]'>ay the railroad traverses a wonderfully fertile 
and productive farming area, which in addition has the attractions 
of the bay shore, affording exceptional conditions for summer out- 
ings. Freehold, the county seat of historic Monmouth, is a par- 
ticularly attractive place to lovers of country life, and is the cen- 
tre of one of the finest agricultural districts in the State. IMany 
of the smaller villages along the Freehold Branch are also popular 
places of resort during vacation time.

NEW HOTEL BALDWIN, BEACH HAVEN

ATLANTIC CITY 




O matter what the season be — Summer, 
Winter, Spring, or Autumn — Atlantic 
City's hospitable arms are open in wel- 
come to the seeker after pleasure, or 
rest, or recreation. It is admittedly 
the greatest all-the-year resort of the 
Western Continent. It has been fittingly 
described as embracing the salient char- 
acteristics of the most celebrated 
European resorts. 

Ruilt upon an island seven miles out 
at sea. its four miles of beach facing 
southeast, it has, during the summer 
months, the cooling breezes that sweep in from the broad Atlantic, 
while in winter the atmosphere is tempered by the Gulf Stream, 
coursing ever northward a few miles off shore and laden witli the 
warmth of its tropical origin. Ideal climatic conditions supplied 
the fundamentals that gave Atlantic City its start ; it is now 
even more than weather assets that draw people thither in in- 
creasing numbers each year — it is simply because it is Atlantic 
City. Breast the throng on the four-mile Boardwalk on a sum- 
mer's day, and you will meet many men of many minds, some 
of whom will declare for its great hotels, impressivelv buttress- 
ing the Boardwalk. Some will claim the Boardwalk itself — the 

28 



progenitor of boardwalks and the greatest of them all — is the 
most potent magnet. Others will acclaim the magnificent bathing 
beach one of the finest on the whole Eastern Coast — as the piece 
de resistance. If one goes to Atlantic City for the sea alone, 
there is such a broad level stretch of sand, such a generous 
space for the crushing breakers, that one can be almost in soli- 
tude within the toss of a pebble of the bustling, throbbing Board- 
walk. For the sea makes for isolation — the roar of breaking bil- 
lows and the subtle murmur of the ocean effectually silence the 
roar of talking crowds, the ring of gay laughter, and the obligato 
of merry music — all that make u\) the Song of the Boar<lwalk. 

Many will insist that it is this song — of the throng — of the 
Boardwalk that makes Atlantic City what it is. Yet it is these 
and all the other attractions that have made the crowd that is 
so interesting. The motoring enthusiast, the golfer, the fisher- 
man, the hunter, the amateur sailor, all are here, and all find 
their particular pleasure at hand. Indeed, life at Atlantic City 
is diversity personified. It has as many points of contact as a 
diamond and like that precious gem it flashes life from every 
surface. Its summer sunshine is alluring; its winter sparkle is 
invigorating; its ever rampant gayety thrills and exhilarates. 

With all its glitter and brilliance it is by no means a city of 
tinsel. While it is in truth a fairyland by night, with its myriad 





YACHTS AT THE INLET 



twinkling lights, the great eyes of the hotel windows, its rows 
and rows of countless incandescents that dim the stars, yet the 
glare of the morning sun only adds another kind of lustre, re- 
vealing new heauties, disclosing unsuspected charms. The little 
shops displaying their dainty bits of lace and lovely embroideries 
from far-off countries, their china and crystal, their rare old 
mahogany and shimmering jewels and fascinating curios — all are 
now as much a part of Atlantic City as the very sea itself. Then 
there are the music and the varied attractions of the great piers 
that provide the "something to do," that mystic lure of pleasure 
seekers the world over. 

Then there is the winter devotee. He will say, rightly enough, 
that it is the splendidly appointed hotels, with their famous 
cuisine, their cheery sun-parlors, and their vitalizing sea water 
baths, and the enjoyment of the Boardwalk, with its rolling chairs 
and balmy air, that draw him to Atlantic City and hold iiim 
there. 

One thing that makes Atlantic City so popular is the fact that 
the man of moderate means can find entertainment and enjoy- 
ment as readily as can the man of wealth. The several hundred 
hotels run the entire gamut on the expense scale, furnishing lavish 
display and luxury, if such be desired, or simplicity and a cor- 
respondingly small outlay, if they be preferred. In this splendid 

30 




BOARDWALK PROMEXADERS, ATLANTIC CITY 



31 



array of hjstelrics, a daily average of some 300,000 visitors is 
sheltered during the busy season. Indeed, one reason for the con- 
tinuous success of Atlantic City is the enterprise and efficiency 
of its hotel men. 

The Central Railroad of Xew Jersey furnishes splendid ser- 
vice to Atlantic City, Its trains making the run from New York 
in three hours. The ride takes the traveller through miles of 
the famous pine belt of New Jersey, with its ozone-laden air, and 
the highly cultivated agricultural section which furnishes New 
Y(.rk and Philadelphia with so much of their table necessities. 

Although Atlantic City is the principal year-round resort on 
the coast, the whole southern shore of Xew Jersey is one great 
outing place during the suiumer, and every settlement from At- 
lantic City to Cape i\Iay is thronged with visitors looking for rest 
and recreation.

HOTEL DENNIS, ATLANTIC CITY 

HOTEL DEXXIS — Walter J. Buzby, Prop. Hotels, like people, have a personality 
which distinguishes each from the other and cannot be successfully imitated — the 
predominating features of the Hotel Dennis being comfort, cheerfulness and an 
ample roominess that charms, alike, the guest seeking rest, or the care-free globe 
trotter on pleasure bent — it caters to both, it satisfies both. The Dennis is an 
AIl-Year-Round Hotel, equipped to give its guests the maximum of comfort, be the 
season summer, winter, spring or fall, and the w-eather what it may. It is dis- 
tinctly a homelike hotel, where hospitality is in the air, and the personality of the 
management is stamped on all the doings about it. Porch life at the Dennis is 
one of the pleasing and most restful of its many attractions. Facing tlie ocean 
with green lawns in front, the Dennis is so situated that it commands a perfect 
ocean view. The e.Kchange sun parlor has always been a unique spot in the 
Dennis. There arc no buildings in front of the hotel and it is this outlook 
which makes the sun parlor so fascinating. Opening from the Reception Hall 
is the Rei.reation Parlor with billiard tables and shuffleboards and beyond is the 
Club Room. Adjoining the Club Room are Committee Rooms.

It. too, has its IJoarchvalk and its bath- 
ing Ijeach, all out-door diversions and 
sports, plenty of good hotels, and 
-cores of cottages at moderate rentals 
lOr those who wish to maintain the 
accustomed home life. 

While virtually at sea, the lower en<l 
of the island on which the cit}- stands 
is so connected with the coast by kiw 
ground that the Central Railroad of Xew Jersey, in connection 
with the Philadelphia and Reading Railway, runs its trains direct 
to Ocean City, excellent service from Xew York and Phila- 
delphia being maintained, h'or those who enjoy the adventurous 
sport, there are boating accommodations a-plenty. The waters 
of Egg Harbor P)ay teem with sailing craft and motor -boats 
of every kind and description, and also afford safe harbor for 
the large yachts whose ownefs delight in deep-sea cruising. 

The lover of outdoor sports will be in his element. In ad- 
dition to boat races, there are baseball games, tennis tournaments, 
athletic meets, etc. In the late siunnur a tennis tournament is 
held in which noted players take part. 'Ihe Occ.in City ^[oto^

Boat Club is equally progressive in assisting in the sporting and 
social life of the resort. The thirty-two foot wide Boardwalk is 
one of the resort's chief attractions. The proximity of Ocean 
City to the Gulf Stream, and its enjoyment of the trade wnids 
that blow from the southwest during the summer, make it one 
of the most healthful resorts on the shores of the Atlantic. 

Originally laid out as a camp-meeting ground, and famous as 
such for many years. Ocean City has now advanced to the stage 
of a general resort for all. There is a large cottage colony,

while the hotels and boarding houses are all located within a 
comparatively short distance of the Boardwalk and beach, and 
all are easy of access to the railroad stations. The old restric- 
tions still hold, the result of which is prohibition against liquor 
dealing. 

Especially worthy of note is the splendid bathing beach, for 
its location at the centre of the concave dip of the coast line, 
with a barrier of shoals in frt)nt, makes it one of the best pro- 
tected points on the whole long Jersey Shore. Northeast gales 
have little effect on the gentl_\- shelving beach. Broken on the 
sentinel shoals, the waves roll landward in swelling breakers, 
making the bathing particularly delightful. Moreover, the beach 
is hard and smooth and entirely free from holes, washouts, 
and quicksands. It makes an ideal course for automobiles. The 
streets of Ocean City are well laid out and graded with vitrified 
brick gutters.

H.\RRY F. STAXTOX— Eighth Street, below .\sbury 
Avenue. Cottage and bungalow life at the seashore 
is becoming more popular each year. The reason

caused by the growing desire on the part of the 
ever-increasing number of seashore sojourners to 
possess and to occupy, even for a short period, 
residences of their own, away froin the over- 
crowded and at times disagreeable features of hotel 
life. I have secured a tract of land that lies 

practically in the centre of the ocean side of Ocean City; that is, betwecxi

summer sport than surf bathing. The 
experienced swimmer knows the thrill 
that comes from the plunge into the 
surf, and even to the novice hanging 
on to the rope there is a consciousness 
that life is better worth the living after 
a close communion with Old Ocean. 
Surf bathing under the safest and most 
ideal conditions is one of the potent 
"''giili^ attractions at Sea Isle City. This well- 
- known resort is situated just about 
midway between Ocean City and 
Cape May, and like its two neighbors is blessed with the balmy 
■climate that characterizes this section of the New Jersey coast. 
It is a live, wide-awake place, with good hotel accommoda- 
tions and many cottages to rent for the season. It has the same 
splendid railroad service that is given all these coast resorts by 
the Xew Jersey Central and Philadelj)hia and Reading Radroads. 
Sea Isle City is a favorite resort for fishing parties, for here 
are the famous Corson's Inlet sheepshead fishing grounds as 
well as a labyrinth of smaller waterways, teeming with shellfish 
of every description. S]:)lendid yachting there is, of course, 
both in the open ocean and in the many inlets and estuaries that 
afford quiet sailing and safe anchorage. 

But it is its beach and bathing facilities that form the crowning 
glory of Sea Isle City. Situated on an island some seven miles 
long and about a mile and a half wide, it fronts the broad expanse 
of the Atlantic witii a gently shelving beach of firm hard sand', the 
configuration is such that there is no dangerous undertow,

CAPE MAY 




ITl'ATED at the very jumping off 
point of Southern New Jersey, with 
the Atlantic Ocean on one side and 
Delaware Bay on the other, a spot 
which Nature would find it hard to 
improve upon for a summer resort, is 
located Cape May, one of the oldest 

k" VjinM^H seaside resorts in America. For gen- 
\uj^ % crations Cape ]\Iay has heen famous 
^ y I as a seashore resort, and in ante-bel- 
j lum days, before Newport was known 
fjg^ outside of Rhode Island, it was a regu- 
lar stopping place for the Southern 
planters on their way to and from Saratoga. The multiplicity 
of seaside resorts has not robbed Cape May of its glories. 

In natural advantages Cape May is exceptionally favored. 
Geographically, it is as far south as Washington, and because of 
the nearness of the Gulf Stream enjoys an equable climate 
throughout the year, especially free from humidity. The even- 
ness of temperature is little less than remarkable, and observa- 
tions through a series of years show a ]:)ercentage of humidity 
several degrees less than at any other point on the coast. The 
Government has spent much money on harbor improvements 
at Cape May, and yachtsmen are always assured of a safe and 
pleasant anchorage. The Jersey Central, in connection with the 
Reading Railway, has adequate train service to Cape May.

models of comfort and cleanliness, heated by steam, electrically lighted, each room 
containing hot and cold water and long distance telephone. Toilets and bathrooms

guard against fire, there being five fire escapes; also a tower fire escape, accessible 
from all floors, the stairway of which is entirely surrounded by an 1 8-inch wall 
of masonry, running from the top to the first floor, the centre of the stairway 
being encased with sheet metal. The hotel is run on the European plan, and 
accommodations afforded for both transient and permanent puests are well and 
favorably known. Not long ago the hotel was remodelled and refurnished at a 
cost of $150,000 and everything is up to date. The Hanover has always been a 
favorite for bridal parties ana noted for the number of its lady guests, as well 
as commercial men; also members of the theatrical profession (as it is convenient 
to all theatres') to whom the proprietor, being an old theatrical man, is always glad 
to cater. Reservations will gladly be made for individuals or conventions on

IN THE JERSEY FOOTHILLS 

iP^~Tj^r*^^"-'^.~"^ORTTIERX Kew Jersey is a typical 

xacation region, and nowhere can the 
lover of country life in summer find 
a fairer landscape and more peaceful 
surroundings than in the valleys and 
uplands that stretch from Somerville 
to Phillipshurg, and wluch are trav- 
ersed hy the main line of the Central 
Railroad of New Jersey. Country life 
'- supreme in the small towns and 
illages throughout this territory, and 
the citv dweller can leave noise and 
iiiiuiHL- iK-iiiiKi wiien iie comes within these restful influences. 

In this w^onderful foothills region, where peace and quiet reign 
in place of url)an rush and tumult, a region whose broad rolling 
hills, winding roads, sparkling streams, woodland acres, and 
well-tilled fields alTord pervading antidote for cares and worries, 
there is everything to attract the summer visitor. In the lirst 
place, the fertility and productiveness have made this region 
famous from an agricultural standpoint. It is a wonderful 
country in wliich to make crops grow and h}- the same token it 
is a wonderful country in which to make people grow — health}- 
and hearty and full of the joy of living. In this connection. 
unusual opportunities offer themselves to the farmer, who reaps 

65 



the harvest of the soil as a means of Hvehhood, to also reap an 
incidental harvest of shekels from the summer boarders. There 
are hundreds of farmers who are doing this very thing, for 
Nature, in its happiest impulse, has supplied the fundamental 
essentials ; the large roomy house provides comfortable and 
homelike shelter, the farm itself produces fresh eggs and veg- 
etables, the dairy furnishes rich milk, cream, and butter. Thus, 
it is peculiarly fitting that the foothills country of New Jersey 
has been described as "a succession of garden spots in the Gar- 
den State of the Union." Nor is it strange that the pent-up 
residents of the big towns and cities feel a keen impatience to 
be off to his or her favorite place of recreation in the "foothills." 




AN EN'CH.XNTIXG NOOK 



To enter thi> garden spot one passes through the suburban sec- 
tion described in another chapter. As the train speeds on beyond 
Somerville one is impressed with the unusual beauty of the 
scenery, especially at North Branch, the second stop, where the 
"north branch" of the Raritan River gurgles merrily down its 
little valley, while to the westward still the "everlasting hills" 
begin to lift themselves into view. 

At White House, the beautiful Rockaway A'alley, with its great 
farms and ])each orchards, opens to the vision. From here a 
branch railroad runs to Alendham. through a succession of 
small villages and a country of rare charm, well watered and 

66 




A I'Vl'U Al. i'ASTORAl. SCENE 



wooded. There are numerous places hereabouts where boarders 
may find farm Hfe as it really is. 

The village of Lebanon, the next on the main line, lies in the 
fertile valley of the same name. Peach farms and dairies make 
this literally a country of "peaches and cream," with lovelv 
vistas on which to feast the eye at the same time. .Annandale, 
a neighboring community of much the same character as Leb- 
anon, is the station for Clinton and the ideal "vacation" section 




ONE OF THE I'll.XSE.S OF F.\KM LIFE 
67 



of which it is the centre. The little valley is rich in romantic 
walks and delightful drives and good fishing attracts the angler 
to the nearby brooks. There is also fine gunning. 

High Bridge is a little more ambitious, and is large enough 
to have some manufacturing, but is still a rural community. 
The country here is very hilly; and there are many fine drives. 
The hills are sufficiently wooded to harbor small game, and the 
amateur sportsman will find much to please him in this section. 

Westward from High Bridge the road enters the Musconetcong 
\'alley, but the rails climb steadily upward, and the next fifteen 
miles give the traveler a vivid bird's-eye view of the country 
he is passing through. The villages here nestle cosily on the 
verdant hillsides, merging with the farming lands about them. 
At Hampton, called "the top of the world" on this division, 
there is disclosed a splendid panorama sweeping in all directions. 
From this summit, the railroad begins an easy descent to 
Phillipsburg in the famous valley of the Delaware. For as far 
as twenty-five miles, one can trace on a clear day the valleys of 
the Lehigh and the Delaware rivers. This town lies on the 
border of the State, in picturesque conjunction with its neighbor 
across the river, Easton, Pa. This but briefly describes a section 
of country that is growing more popular every year with 
lovers of rural life. Summer visitors are welcomed in all sec- 
tions, and ample provision is made for their comfort and en- 
joyment throughout the warm weather months.

OODED SHORES' 



HIGH BRIDGE TO LAKE HOPATCONG 




ILLS and valleys arc the natural 
characteristics of Xorthcrn New Jer- 
sey, just as the pine-clad plains mark 
the lower half of the State, and the 
High Jiridge branch of the Central 
Railroad of Xew Jersey, leaving the 
main line at High Bridge, opens up to 
the seeker for the beauties of nature 
one of the finest sections of the State. 
The country through which this branch 
runs might well be called "Camera 
Land," for along the Raritan and 
lUack Rivers, in the Schooley's Mountain and Budd's Lake sec- 
tion, and about Lake Hopatcong one is ever discovering charming 
nooks and sylvan glens that haunt the memory like a masterpiece 
of music. 

Straightway on leaving High Bridge the train begins to clinil). 
and every turn in the track opens u]) new vistas of enchantment. 
Winding brooks, crystal clear, separate rocky glens and well-tilled 
farms. Califon, just at the fo(>t of the mountain, is a popular 
resort, as is ^Fiddle \"alley, which is in a more open location. .Vt 
German A^alley, one of the old-time settlements of this part of the 
State, and which is itself a summer community of importance, 

• 74 



stages for Schooley's IMountain meet all trains, affording a de- 
lightful cross-country drive over well-kept roads to the hotel and 
cottage colony on the summit of the mountain. At Manders 
another pleasing side trip is afforded to Budd's Lake, a sheet 
of pure spring water on the high plateau. Five miles in circum- 
ference, its shores provide sites for hotels and cottages which are 
well patronized during the heated term. 

Still northward, and at continually higher altitudes, come 
Ledgewood and Kenvil, and then Dover, the largest town in this 
section, whose 6,000 inhabitants entertain many more in its hotels 
and boarding-houses during the "outing" season, just beyond 
is Rockaway, taking its name from the valley in which it nestles, 
and after one final long ascent, with the rails skirting the precip- 
itous mountain side, and the broad sweep of the valley bclow^ 
Lake Hopatcong, a thousand feet above tide water, is reached. 

"Nature, pure and undefiled," is the keynote of Hopatcong, 
long famous as one of the finest mountain resorts in the East, 
and so accessible it is visited by many thousands every summ^^r. 
Every picturesque spot about the lake has been left in its original 
beauty. Ten miles long and from one to three miles wide, of 
crystal clearness, and surrounded by wooded hills that bring 
grateful shade to its very edges, this body of water is often called 
the Lake George of New Jersey. Though there are many hotels.

and places of entertainment, out-door life is popular, too, the 
shores of the lake and the many islands being dotted with the 
white tents of campers and picnickcr>. I'ine catches of fish re- 
ward the small army of anglers that flock hither, while in life 
afloat there is no lack of excitement. Small excursion steamers, 
motor-boats, sailboats, skififs, and canoes abound, and the annual 
regatta and water carnival is an event of great interest and imjjor- 
tance, bringing thousands from the immediate neighborhood, as 
well as from the metropolis. Notable among Nature's Ijcautiful 
gifts to Lake Hopatcong is Floating Island, which, no matter what 
the height of water in the lake, always remains about a foot above

the surface, and is covered with a luxuriant growth of llowers, 
its banks lined with wild roses. Then there are the Sister Islands, 
Ilalscy Island, and Raccoon Island, on any one of which it is 
a common sight to encounter gay picnic parties gathering shrubs 
and wild flowers, or merrily jireparing lunch, and as merrily 
partaking of it. 

Ashore, there are a lumdreil enchanting Inwaxs anil hulian 
trails to lure the explorer through the primitive woodland to 
such charming spots as Devil's Staircase, Bear Point, Cupid's 
Cascades, or Bishop's Falls. Or if one would ride — a-saddle or 
a-wheel — there arc many cool and shailed roads, bordered by 

77 



luxuriant alders and lichen and wild flowers of quaint and fan- 
tastic fashioning, and canopied by interlacing boughs of great 
iirs and pines and chestnuts. The romantic mystery of some of 
these forest drives and rambles recalls with peculiar significance 
to those who first penetrate them the exquisite lines of Nesbit: 

Where do they lead — the little roads that ramble in and out 
And know the merry music of the brooklets roundabout? 
They hail us and they call us as we journey swiftly by; 
They flash their signals to us as upon our way we fly — 
And then we fall to dreaming of a hush-held, peaceful way 
That was the little road we knew in some fair yesterday. 

A season at Lake Ilopatcong to tlie lover of the open is in- 
comparable with anything else in easy reach of New York, and a 
sunset from its beautiful shores makes one see with the poet's 
■eyes : 

On through Day's golden gateway in the West, 
The Summer Sun. with splendor in its train, 
Leaves Night behind, with soml)re pigments blest, 
To soothe the Earth, and fit for Dav again.

LEHIGH AND WYOMING VALLEYS 




ROSSfXG the Delaware River from 
JMiillii)sburi,' to Easton, the Central 
Railroad of Xew Jersey leaves the 
State from which it takes its name 
and enters the great coal-producing 
State of T*ennsylvania, and for one 
hnndred and twenty miles follows the 
])ictures(|ne and Iii>torical vallevs of 
the Lehigh and the Wyoming, rich in 
reminiscences of Colonial days. l)ui 
richer far in the great industrial centres 
~ that have grown up about the vast de- 
his region is fitly called "The Switzerland 
of America," and llu- thou>ands of excursionists that visit the 
"Switchback" every summer get, in a day's outing, practically 
the same scenery that painters and travellers find so fascinating 
in far-off Europe. 

Eor fully seventy miles in a northwesterly direction from 
Easton the railroad i)enetrates the valley of the Lehigh River, 
ministering to sucli cities as 1 Jet h Kb (.in. with its great steel 
works, and the site of Lehigh I'niversity ; Allentown, with all its 
diversified interests: and Manch Chunk, with its coal mines. .At 
Mauch Chunk is the famous "Switchback," the first railroa<! 
built in the United States. Originally a gravity railroad to carry

MAUCH CHUNK FROM SWITCHBACK R^ULROAD 

coal from the top of Summit Hill to the river level, it has been 
transformed into a passenger railroad that carries its delighted 
thousands safely and quickly to the top of the 1,600-foot moun- 
tain, where a veritable fairyland is spread before the eye in 
every direction. This is one of the most popular one-day trips 
to be had for New Yorkers, and the Central Railroad meets all 
requirements by the operation of many special trains. 

Westward from Mauch Chunk comes White Haven, another 
of Nature's marvels which are so numerous in this mountainous 
region, and which has sprung into great popularity as a health 
resort. This is due largely to the remarkably dry quality of the 
air in this high altitude. There are many beautiful rides through 
the mountains and excellent trout fishing may be enjoyed in a 
number of neighboring streams. Summer visitors will find sev- 
eral excellent small hotels and boarding houses. 

After a steady climb of t' n miles to the crest of Mt. Nescopec. it 
Ijcii.g the highest point between New York and Buffalo, Glen Sum- 
mit Springs is reached. This is one of the most famous summer 
resorts in the famous Blue Ridge region ; it is given over en- 
tirely to the entertainment of summer visitors and the life cen- 
ters in and about the large and fashionable Glen Summit Springs 
Hotel, perchcfl like an eagle's eyrie on the top of the mountain 
near the Central Railroad Station. The environing country 

83 



abounds in magnificent drives through the mountains, while there 
are also manv charming walks, one of the most pleasant being 
to Fountain Lake, a mile and a half distant. Fountain Lake is a 
gem of Nature's setting in the bosom of her own hills. It is 
fed by the Nescopec Springs with a capacity of 150,000 gallons 
a day, and many mountain brooklets. A short distance beyond 
is Crystal Lake, another picturesque body of water, and six miles 
further, Bear Lake, small but beautifully situated. 

From the crest of Nescopec there is a gradual decline into the 
"Vale of Wyoming" — renowned in song and story — and the 
far-famed hill country between the Susquehanna, the Delaware 
and the pleasant, well watered valley of the Lehigh. In the heart 
of the Wyoming X'alley is situated the city of Wilkes- 
Barre, which the "'^lassacre of Wyoming" in 1778 has 
enshrined in history. For twenty-four miles the radroad 
invades this trulv romantic country before arriving at Scranton. 
the end of the division and one of the big and rapidly growing 
cities of this great State. This is but a brief sketch of one of the 
most interesting day's travel in the East ; adequate mention of all 
the attractive resorts is not possible in this space, but for lovers 
of the historical, the romantic, and the picturesque there will 
be found along the course of these two wonderful valleys some- 
thing to suit the needs, the taste and the purse of everyone.

IN THE HEART OF THE PINE BELT 




JATURE was in a beneficent mood 
wlien she made the conntry that en- 
virons Lakevvood. Only a few miles 
from the Atlantic coast, here are thous- 
ands of acres of pines, deep-rooted in 
sandy soil, that «-ive the traveller the 
sense of being near the shores of Lake 
Superior, and with the same ozone- 
laden air that has made that North- 
west ern country famous. 

Lakewood is only thirty years okl, 
but it has come to be a winter neces- 
sity to the bu.>iness men of New York. Only ninety minutes' 
ride from the city, the man of afifairs with a temporary or per- 
manent residence in Lakewood can have an hour for golfing, 
motoring, or driving after his exacting day in the office, the 
bank, or on the "Street" is finished. 

The climate is a wonderful combination of Southern mildness 
and Northern vigor. The porous sandy soil, through which the 
Avater is quickly absorbed after a rainfall, leaves the ground dry 
and the atmosphere free from moisture. Tiie temperature at

AT AXIJ OF GRATX" 



Lakewood is usually ten or more degrees higher in winter than 
in New York or Philadelphia, and the opportunities for open-air 
life and all kinds of outdoor sports all through the fall, winter, 
and spring are a strong attraction both to the class of wealth and 
leisure and to those of moderate means. There are several golf 
links in the neighborhood, while driving, horseback riding, motor- 
ing, cross-country runs to hounds, and polo tournaments are 
popular diversions. The polo contests are held on the grounds 
of Georgiancourt, the palatial country estate of George J. Gould. 
Within the village limits is Lake Carasaljo, two and a half 
miles long and half a mile wide, the shores being very irregular, 




THE WALK AROUND LAKE CARASALJO 



and skirted by the ever-present pines, through which a romantic 
driveways winds its way entirely around the lake. Cathedral 
Drive leads one into the heart of the lofty pines, and 
makes a scene of rare and poetic beauty. Seen by moonlight 
it is a thing to be treasured in the memory. 

The hotels are spacious and palatial, and cater satisfactorily 
to the tastes of the exacting public that throngs them during 
the season. The cottage colony is large and important, and there 
are many magnificent private estates. 

The transportation facilities afforded by the Central Railroad 
of New Jersey are of the best. The splendidly constructed road-

bed makes tlie high speed of the trains perfectly safe, while the 
parlor-car and coach ecjuipment and the use of smokeless hard 
coal make travel by this road a pleasure. 

Of Lakehurst, which lies eight miles to the south of Lake- 
wood, much that has been said of that place can be written in 
in a minor key. The village is not so large, its hotels are not s» 
numerous, its cottage colony not so extensive. But it has the 
same salubrious winter climate, the same dry sandy soil, the same 
belt of health-giving pines. Being well within the sandy pine

belt, the miles of beautiful walks and bridle paths through the 
pincv woods, together with the dri\es and the eranberry gardens, 
afford a variety of scenery and a closeness to Nature rarely to 
be found. Horicon Lake, a couple of miles in circuit, forest - 
edged and pictures(|ue. and marking the southern border, pro- 
vides o])])ortunities for water s])orts and skating. Lakehurst is 
highly regarded b}- those in search of recuperation for in the 
breath of the pine fores-ts is found the very essence of invigora- 
tion. Incidentally, these forest tracts breathe much of romantic 
tradition. From the Revolutionary days when Tory raiders 
rendezvoused in the wooded fastnesses to the times that Joseph 
Bonaparte, exiled from the Spanish throne hunted wild boars in 
its depths, this vast wilderness has played an interesting part in 
history. Lakehurst has excellent hotel accommodations, as well 
as the same excellent train service that Lakewood enjoys.

THE SPORTSMAN'S PARADISE 



VER since Henry Hudson landed at 
Barnegat in 1609, and found great 
numbers of Indians fishing and hunt- 
ing, the Barnegat Bay region has grown 
^teachly in reputation as the best fishing 
and hunting grounds on the Atlantic 
Coast. In fact Old Barnegat, with its 
three hundred and fifty square miles of 
(juiet and safe waters behind tlie bar- 
rier of Long Beach, has been known 
for generations as the sportsmen's par- 
adise. Its waters are alive with almost 
every known species of the finny tribe, and for at least nine 
months in the year there is the finest fishing in the bay, while 
lovers of duck and snipe shooting know it as the best hunting 
grounds in the hLastern States during the spring and fall. Weak- 
fish, bluefish, and stri])ed bass run from May to November. 
On the ocean side of the Long lieach barrier, surf fish- 
ing attracts many seasoned and successful veterans in 
the time-honored sport, and famous individual catches 
provide an interesting chapter of tlie region's legends. 
Channel bass and drumfisli may be found close (o (he beach, and 

95 





^ 



SURF FISIIINC. OX TIIK ATLANTIC SIDE 

sea bass are caught both in the bay and outside the inlet. Sand- 
bars and grass islands are the home of wild fowl in every va- 
riety. Houseboating is a popular mode of living at Barnegat, and 
craft of every description and size can be secured for a week or 
for the season at reasonable rates. Toms River, to the north of 
Barnegat, and Beach Haven, to the south, with Pinewald, Lanoka 
Forked River, Ostrom and W'aretown intervening, are other 
points on Barnegat l>ay that have their loyal followers, and 
each has its individual charm. 

This section of the coast is adecjuately provided for as to 
transportation by the Toms River Branch of the Central

LESS THAN AN HOUR FROM BROADWAY 




WITHIN THE SUBURBAN LIMITS 




RAXSPORTATIOX— rapid, safe, and 
economical — and an attractive and 
healthful locality to live in are the 
prime requisites for the commuter. He 
wants his home, which he huilds for 
the future, to be in a growing com- 
munity, where his family may have 
the comforts and advantages of the 
city, without the constraint and conges- 
tion of urban restrictions. 

With constantly increasing and im- 
proving transportation facilities, the 
commuter's horizon is continually widening, and to-day localities 
that a few years ago were thought to be too far from New York 
for any one to live in except those locally interested are becom- 
ing more and more the homes of men who thid their business 
activities in the metropolis. 

The Central Railroad of New Jersey, with its two convenient 
stations in Xcw ^'ork — one at the foot of Liberty Street, in the 
heart of the financial and business centra'; the other at the foot 
of West Twenty-third Street, in close touch with the theatrical, 
shopping, and hotel districts, and both within easy reach of all 
the principal lines of local travel, subway, elevated, and surface — 
makes an ideal highway for llie commuter, who travels twice 

lOI 



daily between home and business, summer and winter, and natur- 
ally requires stability and steadiness of service. 

The many rapidly growing cities and towns along the splendid- 
ly constructed and safely operated system of the Central Railroad 
of New Jersey, which are drawing to them yearly increasing num- 
bers of home builders, testify in no uncertain manner to the 
success of the sulnirban business of this great railroad. From 
as far away as I'demington, the county seat of Hunterdon County 
and the terminus of the "South Branch," every city and village 
between there and New York has felt the impetus of growth due 
to the constantly expanding suburban service of the Central Rail- 
road. I<"re(|uent trains, low rates of fare, and prompt and reliable 




A COZY llOMK IX THF. SnU'RBS 



service have made i)ossible real home life for thousands who 
formerly were comi)elled to live in cheerless apartments in the 
great city. 

Bayonne, that sits with its feet in New \'ork Bay. and is the 
first im])ortant stopping ])oint on the Central Railroad, is ideal 
for the commuter who would not go far aheld. There are five 
stations within the city limits, with attractive residential sites 
within easy reach ; indeed Xew York's business centre is more 
accessible than to many dwellers of the greater city itself. 

A few minutes farther on is the city of Elizabeth, also so well 
known as to need no description. Many stations and frequent

Plainfield. riainficld's residents proudly call it "The Queen City 
of New Jersey," and it has many qualifications for the title. Social 
life is a feature of the city. Fully fifty trains each way from 
Plainfield, many of them expresses without intermediate stops, 
give this suburb the finest transportation facilities in the State. 

Beyond Plainfield comes P>ound Brook, which is growing rapid- 
ly, and then we are at Somerville, popular for years as a summer 
resort, but becoming more and more a year-round home as the 
commuting zone is widened. At Somerville is the junction of the 
South Branch, which carries the traveller a few miles through a 
rural section to Flemington. For those who want more land 
than can be easily had in the larger communities, Roycefield. 
Flagtown, Neshanic. Woodfcrn. Riverside, and Three Bridges 
offer ideal sites for homes. Flemington offers many advantages. 
It is on high ground, and from the summit of Thatcher's Hill 
fifty miles of country in every direction is spread to view. This 
town is the centre of the middle Jersey peach belt, and health 
and happiness are the portion of its inhabitants. 

All in all, no suburban travellers in and out of New York City 
have better transit facilities and pleasantcr surroundings than the 
patrons of the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
